What a delight to be a part of the Humber Counselling and Psychotherapy Conference in March ‘25. Tickets on sale… VERY SOON ✨ Who’s coming?
Announcement number three and we are delighted to welcome Joanna Groves for her first visit to the Humber Counselling and Psychotherapy Conference.
Joanna's workshop is entitled "Psychotherapy and Grief Tending - Honouring the vitality of our community".
Together we’ll explore how personal and collective grief can strengthen community and inspire collective action. Participants are invited to get curious into how we can co-create grief tending spaces that sustain positive change for individuals, the collective, and the broader communities we live and work in.
Practitioners of all modalities and experience are welcome. You’ll gain insights into how our diverse perspectives and experiences of grief and loss foster deeper connections, broadens learning, and fuels change. You’ll also learn how holding space for the inevitable ruptures, inequalities, and grief that arise within an organisation, can transform these challenges into opportunities for healing and growth.
Joanna’s work with couples and individuals, exploring the edges of loss and love in relationships and life, led her to delving into the field of grief tending and rituals. Training in grief rituals and soul therapy in the US and UK since 2020, Joanna now integrates these themes into her life and work. She offers regular grief circles both online and in-person near Manchester. Joanna is a CTA (P), and a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and workshop presenter. She’s the co-director of the Affinity Centre in Manchester.
One of the conference team has experienced a version of this workshop recently, and it really is a revolutionary, emotional experience. Thanks Joanna for coming to join us at the University of Hull, on Saturday 29th March 2025. We can't wait to welcome you.
Tickets on Sale Early November. Details to follow.
